  • Dressed To Kill For Fifty Years

    by Rue Morgue Records on March 20, 2025

    I’ve always loved Dressed to Kill, and here we are, 50 years later, and I’m still spinning it like it just came out last week. The fact that this album is half a century old is mildly terrifying, but what’s even scarier? Realizing I was just 9 years old when I unwrapped it on Christmas […]

  • It Was Forty Three Years Ago Today

    by John Raptis on November 15, 2023

    Forty Three Years Ago!  That’s just something so hard to comprehend when I can remember it all detail for detail as if it happened yesterday! Yeah, forty three years ago, I went to my first gig, KISS at VFL Park. I wasn’t alone. 45,000 people attended too that day, making it for the time – […]

  • An Explanation Of The Murders In The Rue Morgue Tributes

    by Rue Morgue Records on February 7, 2021

    Back in 1978, KISS released four solo albums. I was old enough to go and purchase Ace Frehley‘s album a couple of weeks after its release in September 1978. Now, we are not here to discuss the merits of those records, but on the back of each album, each member dedicated their record to the […]

  • KISS Destroyer 44 Years Old

    by Rue Morgue Records on April 12, 2020

    My parent’s think I’m crazy! And they hate the things I do… It’s scary to realise that KISS Destroyer is 44 years old today. Even scarier to realise that yours truly was alive and kicking back then and this hot piece of wax was the first album the author owned and purchased with his own […]

SPANKMAG VOL 1 The Aussie Punk Rock Compilation S SPANKMAG VOL 1
The Aussie Punk Rock Compilation

SHIPPING TODAY!

Hello friends,

It’s hard to fully express what it feels like to finally bring a massive project like Spankmag to its conclusion.

I knew from the start it would be a huge task — but I didn’t expect it to stretch across three long years. That part’s on me. We bit off more than we should have, juggling too many projects at once, and delays were inevitable.

That said, for a small, fiercely independent label like Rue Morgue Records, the fact that we’ve released nearly 30 vinyl projects over the past seven years?

That’s no small feat. That’s massive.

The records arrived today and I felt quite emotional opening the boxes and seeing the final result in my hands. They turned out amazing and I am so proud of all the hard work that went into them. Man, I am stoked!

All the orders will be packed as you are reading this and they will begin delivering to you all tomorrow.

I would be honoured to hear your thoughts on the vinyl when you receive yours. Take a snap of you holding the record and please send it to me when you get a moment. $100 of FREE vinyl to one random person who does this.

Thank you for your loyalty and thank you for your patience!

Oh and to that one nasty email that I got telling me I was over my head and this project would never see the light of day... F*** YOU!

This one nearly broke me! Was a lot of work and to This one nearly broke me! Was a lot of work and took 3 years to complete. But it is done! And it is mega! Actually, no, is is more than mega - it is a defining moment for Rue Morgue Records and one of our best releases. 

The Australian Punk Rock scene is incredible! I only just dipped my toes in these waters but what I found were some of the nicest, professional and amazing young bands who permeate these vinyl grooves with their killer tracks.

Yeah I am biased, but this is a damn fine slab of Punk goodness.

The last one just came off the press and these are on the way to us and soon on their way to our mega customers!

I hope you enjoy this record as much as I enjoyed putting it together for you!

Some proceeds of this release will be donated to LifeLine.

Get spanked!
